Hi there!

Is there a way to pause the history ?

I do not want to record the process of moving the layer in the history.

function proc()

{

    var layerActive = app.activeDocument.activeLayer ;

    pause history

    layerActive.translate( mx, my ) ;

    resume history

}

Or is there a way to move a layer without recording it ?

Thank you.

There's no history pause, but history suspend – which is a way to provide a single history state for the entire script (one single undo for all actions taken in the script)

app.activeDocument.suspendHistory('Secret step!', 'main()');
function main() {
  // whatever needs to be done
}

Hope this helps,

Davide

    I see.

    I just barely made it.

    Thank you!
